It is less that psychiatry is a scam and more about the lack of funding and study into neurology. There also and issues the fact that each person brain is different. I take Wellburtrin and with out it my mind will cascade into obvious (literally), I find with my dabbling in psychology, psychotherapy, neurology I have found very hard evidence that most of the issues lie with in the neuro transmitters and how our brains are processing information. The issue is we do not fully understand what is occurring. This is why SSRIs and what not work, but we fully do not understand why different ones work for certain people.
I think denial of this field and neglect it still receiving is hurting people. Depression and bipolar disorders are hurting a lot of people, and depression is proving to be a fatal disease. I have no doubt diet and exercise and OMG society has a lot to do with it. But since exercise can be hard when you have to work 40 hours a week, a good diet is stupid expensive in comparison to "bad" food, and then you have society that blames the victim, wants you to be a wage slave? Yea no wonder we have psychological issues. There are various factors, all of them effect how our brain neurons fire.
